As the world's most popular MOBA, League of Legends runs on a proprietary engine that has been updated for over a decade. Recently, Riot increased the minimum requirements to include AVX instruction support and dropped support for older OSs and DirectX 9. While still lightweight, modern team fights with complex particle effects can strain older integrated graphics. The game scales well with single-thread CPU performance, meaning even modern entry-level processors can deliver high frame rates.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 146 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 141 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 92 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 1277% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 560) for League of Legends. The Ryzen Embedded R2314 is 9% below recommended, but 179% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k low), the Ryzen Embedded R2314 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, 4k (medium/high/ultra)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $2411. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 146 FPS, equivalent to 0.06 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen Embedded R2314 sets the ceiling at about 146 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 318 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 54% (FPS gap: 172 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 7/12 cells, GPU limits 4/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Ryzen Embedded R2314 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 54% | CPU Limits GPU 43% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 23% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 48% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen Embedded R2314 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run League of Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 92 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 1277% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 9% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2411 ($762 CPU + $1649 GPU). Your Ryzen Embedded R2314 is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($762) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
For League of Legends, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen Embedded R2314 is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 4k low. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
League of Legends does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
League of Legends requires at minimum a Core i3-530 (CPU) and GeForce 9600 GT (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3330 and GeForce GTX 560 with 4 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These League of Legends FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
